The Maruti Swift 2025 is proof that hatchbacks still have a strong place in a market dominated by SUVs and electric vehicles. This latest model is not just another redesign—it is a fine-tuned evolution that balances sporty appeal, practicality, and affordability. With a refreshed look, improved features, and better efficiency, the Swift 2025 promises to deliver a thrilling yet convenient driving experience.
Sporty Evolution with a Modern Twist
At first glance, the Swift 2025 maintains its iconic hatchback silhouette, but subtle refinements give it a more confident and stylish stance. The new LED lighting signature, updated alloy wheels, and a slightly extended wheelbase contribute to its modern and assertive look. These enhancements not only improve aesthetics but also enhance interior space and comfort.
Inside, the driver-focused cabin remains true to Swift’s DNA while introducing modern touches. The adjustable tilt steering wheel and a segment-first height-adjustable driver seat ensure an ergonomic driving position. The re-engineered seats offer better lateral support while maintaining the plush comfort that Swift owners have always appreciated.
Powerful Yet Efficient Engine Performance
Under the hood, the Swift 2025 is powered by Maruti’s all-new 1.2L Z-Series mild-hybrid petrol engine. This engine produces 90 PS and 113 Nm of torque while delivering an impressive mileage of 25.5 kmpl (ARAI). The dual-jet technology and cooled EGR system optimize power and fuel efficiency, making every drive smoother and more cost-effective.
The mild-hybrid system provides a torque boost during acceleration and ensures a seamless start-stop function in traffic, improving overall efficiency. While the numbers may seem modest, the engine’s linear power delivery and smooth rev-matching create an engaging driving experience.
For transmission, the Swift 2025 offers a 5-speed manual gearbox with precise, short throws, making gear shifts effortless. The AMT (automated manual transmission) has also been refined for quicker and smoother shifts, enhancing urban driving comfort.
Agile Handling with Improved Chassis Dynamics
Built on the HEARTECT platform, the Swift 2025 features 10% better torsional rigidity while being lighter in weight. The suspension setup includes MacPherson struts at the front and a torsion beam at the rear, striking a perfect balance between sporty handling and ride comfort.
The electric power steering is well-calibrated, requiring only 2.7 turns lock-to-lock, making city driving effortless while maintaining stability on highways and winding roads. One of its standout features is its best-in-class turning radius of just 5.2 meters, ensuring unmatched maneuverability in tight spaces.
Additionally, despite its hatchback stance, the Swift 2025 handles rough roads better than some pseudo-SUVs with higher ground clearance, providing a stable and comfortable ride.
Smartly Designed Cabin with Premium Features
Maruti has optimized the cabin space of the Swift 2025 to offer the most spacious interior yet. Rear knee room has increased by 10%, and the car boasts best-in-class storage solutions, including:
- 25 utility compartments (including a cooled glovebox)
